Posted: 21 Oct 2024, 09:24
Fourth win of the season for Ferrari, in the race dominated most of the season by the SF-24: Leclerc amazing at the start, Sainz very good at taking advantage of a good strategy
An extraordinary display of strength. This is the ultimate summary of the United States Grand Prix for Ferrari , with the Prancing Horse capable of achieving a stunning one-two on American soil.
Charles excellent at the start
It's been a while since we've seen this superiority from the Reds, and in none of their previous victories had the SF-24 proven so dominant, capable of escaping the assaults of Red Bull and McLaren . The race pace, already very good in the sprint, confirmed itself as the strong point for the Reds, which had practically no rivals throughout the entire Texan Sunday.
The race started as best it could have, with an exceptional Leclerc in moving from fourth to first place with the complicity of Verstappen: Max "accompanied" Norris on the outside and Charles slipped in crossing. From there Leclerc took off, while on Sainz , who had moved into third at the start, they worked on strategy: the choice of the undercut was perfect with the Spaniard, who had no problems in finding himself in front of Verstappen after the Dutchman's stop, and he had no problems in managing a tyre that never showed signs of "tiring" in the stints.
Poker for the SF-24
A very linear race for Ferrari, which did nothing but show off the full potential of a super SF-24 in Texas despite being without any updates: this performance rather fully promotes the upgrades brought between Monza and Singapore . Austin was supposed to be the acid test for Ferrari, and it was a total promotion: the summer problems of aerodynamic rebound have been definitively overcome and now, theoretically, the Reds can look with confidence to all the remaining races on the calendar.
